We have 30 guilds. For different reasons I have used LINE, Discord and Slack. LINE is the only solution to consider.If you don't go into a Discord/Slack chat for a while and want to find where you left off, in Discord you can find yourself scrolling for 15 minutes because it does not work showing where you left off. If you want to scroll to where you last posted something yourself, you can never find it in an active chat. LINE right justifies the comments you make but left justifies all of the posts by others, making it very easy to locate posts. You want to invite a bunch of people to a chat really quick? You can't do it with Discord or Slack...it is links or emails. No one has time for that, it's junk. With LINE it can take seconds to invite a ton of people to one chat! I am in chats with hundreds of people...like I said, we are a part of 30 guilds. LINE has stickers that are awesome! When you have raid rules and important info to post in a specific chat for your guild members and you want to make sure people are reading it...LINE shows you how many members of a chat have seen the important information / required reading without needing anyone to reply. Discord/Slack don't have that. A few weeks ago, Discord channels just randomly stopped showing up. Slack has limited storage unless you pay up. I'm in a Discord channel with a couple hundred people. When there is a hot topic going on and multiple people are typing/posting and you enter trying to catch up, good luck! The screen seems to just randomly jump around with each post. It's ridiculous. Sometimes in Discord, the channel seems to "stick" which doesn't allow me to scroll. I have to go out of that channel, click on another, click back out of that one and go back to where I wanted to be originally. Also, when the app first starts up, it sometimes takes me 3 clicks to get where I want to be but with LINE it opens to wherever I was last. Managing multiple guilds in a guild family has to be a nightmare in anything but LINE.I view Discord and Slack as just plain broken. They are not friendly, fun, easy to use or even functional in some cases. The only real answer is LINE.Some people might bring up the psycho people and bots destroying some LINE chats. My only answer to that is you really need to know who you are inviting to chats. Common sense will carry you pretty far in life.

That must be an old post because I have not had those issues (not finding where I left off or what I said last and no issues scrolling either). I have used both LINE and Discord. I say Discord is a better platform because: 1. In your server you can create multiple topics each with multiple channels. For instance, our War Room has a channel for scouting and one for active war related chat. 2. Roles can be designed and assigned as needed with as many permissions as the server owner wishes. This allows a Leader to create a role for Officers and get them to help moderate the server. Many other purpose are served by assigning roles as well.3.Notifications are mutable by channel. This means that a member can mute channels that are unimportant like a fun chat channel while leaving notifications on fir something like War Orders.4. Channels can be Role specific. This means that management decisions are kept to those actually involved in making the decision.5. The Discord app is smaller than the LINE app. This means members are more likely to download the alternate chat and be more involved in the squad.6. Discord can integrate into Guilded which has SWC listed as a game they connect to. I have not done much with Guilded so I can't say how good it is.7. I, personally, find Discord to be more adult designed or focused rather than teenager focused. It is sleek, professional and functional.

Midge has a point though, LINE became the main SWC alt chat app and Discord has not yet pushed them out. So there are more squads on LINE than Discord as far as I can tell. Honestly, I think most people that give Discord a chance will end up agreeing that it is a better experience than LINE.
